Guys, don't give up i finally passed this level yesterday after over a week of trying! Thankfully i had a candy smasher left and was able to remove the last jelly! My sister in law passed the level in a day, so i think it's just luck. I know what you mean about the constant reshuffling. At first when i was playing on the pc every new candy would be a bomb, and i thought it was impossible. This level is really just about luck, very frustrating, but it can be completed.

I have been on this level for over a month, it's constant reshuffling and making me lose a turn is aggravating, I can have 10 bombs all come down at the same time, yet my daughter plays it on her iphone it is one bomb at a time. I have even had the game say I ran out of lives when there wasn't even a bomb in play at the time.

One of the biggest headaches of this game is when a bomb will not come down from the top section.....it just sits there and just runs out of moves.....is there some kind of method or moves to get them to move?

This is just praying your hardest to Gamer's God for a chocolate ball+stripe combo AND the board is saturated with candies of the colour of that striped candy AND the bombs somehow solve themselves. Of course this is super unlikely, but this is how I beat it after a zillion tries on PC.Try to clear near the middle for the move that will cause a bomb to drop, although this is easier said than done.The bombs are crazy hard to clear if they are at the side, even though that's where they usually come *sob*

I had this combo twice in 1 game to remove 1 piece of jelly and it failed both times. How exactly is it to have all these striped candies in line with this 1 piece of jelly and it's lined up the other way.. twice in the same game.

That's beyond me, the odds of this happening.. I mean the earth is probably more likely to crash into the sun tomorrow than the above happening.

Me thinks there is more than meets the eye on this level. Something just isn't right.

I've been working on this level for over a month and the plethora of problems it comes with. I just came across a scenario where I was lucky enough to break the board down to only 1 jelly left with 29 moves to go (great right?).

After I got down to the 1 piece of Jelly, the next 29 moves were relegated to the top left corner of the map: 1 by 1 by 1, no shuffling. 29 moves stuck in the corner, how exactly does that work? How is this fun? How does this encourage people to keep playing let alone spend money on the game to support it? I'll agree with the above poster on Bubble Witch. The same Devs made the game and butchered it due to the randomness nature.

- Bombs spawning that can't be touched- Bombs spawning with 2-3 ticks on them (WTF is with that)- Moves relegated to 1 corner (as you pointed out)- Candies (usually special), breaking apart by themselves- Candies remaining static while others pass through- Crappier drops the closer you get to finishing- Bombs dropping in places that can't be touched- Reshuffling when you have moves (my favorite is the chocolate ball candy next to a stripe.. yep then it reshuffles the board like I have no moves)- There never ever should be any moves available in the corners.. these are just useless filler moves

The the problems with the game itself:

- Can't stack lives outside of 5 making asking for them useless- Can't send power-ups to each other unless you buy them- Can't use your power ups during the game (must pick before hand) how the hell do I know what I need to pass until the situation presents itself?- Only certain power ups available per level (always useless)-

This happens far too often on this level, weed the blocks down to 1 or 2 jellies left then suddenly any and all moves around them, as well as, special candies and combos become non-existent.

It's as if they've programmed this particular level to have diminishing returns.. the further you go the worse and more useless your drops become, pathetic. Like the poster said above, 29 moves left with 1 jelly and every single move relegated to the upper corner, is just beyond bad. I just had the same situation but with 22 moves left. Same deal, all moves stuck in the opposite corner. This King company needs to get their act together.

I'll chime in on this one as well. Had a lucky start which ended up clearing most of the board in the first 5 moves. After that, guess what happened..

A bomb came down and got trapped, absolutely nothing one can do about it because guess what happened; the next 10 moves were stuck in the corner, just like the posters above, imagine that. What are the odds eh?

I'm with all the other posters regarding this level, it's absolutely infuriating. I've also been down to one or two jellies left with more than 20 moves and thought I'd cracked it then all the moves left were in the right hand corner. Will give it one more go then I'm going to quit!

i cleared the jellys and had 11 moves left and then a bomb came down and went in a corner and could not get it so i died ... then had 11- 3 extra moves from friends and game reset and now last them all

I've about had it with this darn game. I can't pass this level for the life of me!! And with the update yesterday on the Ipad the bombs no longer reshuffle. I go back and forth between the pc and my Ipad hoping I'll get lucky but so far no dice. About ready to throw in the towel just like I did with the bubble witch game.

Ugh. I'm glad I googled level 147. So incredibly frustrating! I play on PC and iPhone. I cannot understand WHY, when the board has no moves and reshufffles, I am dinged with losing a move! That's just absurd. And I keep losing b/c bombs are blowing up everywhere, unreachable by matching candies. I've also cleared most of the board with plenty of moves to spare, only to die b/c no same-colored candies are close by.

I FINALLY BEAT IT!!! I just posted on Friday that I couldn't beat it. I finally got past it on the PC! BUT! I had to use a lollipop hammer to smash 3 jellies and a bomb before the bomb exploded. I got the level fairly clear, but of course the bomb just wasn't near any like-colored candies. I cannot stand that shuffling wastes a move on the PC. It doesn't do that on my iPhone. Also, WHY when I unlock boosters on my iPhone do I need to pay for them to use them? They should be free.

I've been playing 147 for 6 WEEKS!!! Nothing I do makes any difference, chocolate sprinkles don't do what they should , jelly squares don't go when they should...etc etc etc!! So fed up now! I used to enjoy the game but nowI'm bored of the same flaming level and I'm just stuck :0(!! Come on King,it's supposed to be a game not a chore!

Everything I have read above has happened to me. I do believe the company wants us to spend $$$$$ to move on to the next level. Other levels have seemed to be that way as well. Not a snowballs chance in #311 of that happening. Getting pretty sick of this. To all who said not fun anymore...that is absolutely correct. I am guessing more and more people will abandon this game for something that at least offers some success along with fun. Maybe the programmers of this level aren't so good....I see many of the flaws mentioned above....

Thank you for the tips.. This level can be done with no boosters or extra lives.. Took a couple of goes, but nailed it finally. As they say concentrate on taking out middle column and creams. Glad to see the back of it though :)

I think this level is going to be my official exit from this game...I thought it was a relaxing fun way to take breaks, but instead it is turning into a monster creating machine. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Hello I am at level 147! and after purchasing extra moves 4 or 5 times, it gives me and error:Your purchased could not be completed for assistance, contact iTunes support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/this is not fair and also stealing, considering i had like 2 bubbles left!How do you explain that???

This is just NUTS , I have been on it for 32 Days now , How can we get this far then just get froze here , I waste so many moves between the re-shuffling and they have made me use like 8 to 9 moves up in the corners back to back , then if you do get close they will make sure a bomb will drop with no way possible to get rid of ! I swear there is a Malfunction on this level. I love this game and I love a challenge but I'm ready to leave game , it is no fun for me anymore and there is plenty others I play that I can devote my time to were I have a chance at least! Just not sure how much longer I will give this IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE !Grrrrrrrr

Obviously we have some skill at this game to make it to 147 but there is something wrong with the software on this level.After 200 attempts and nothing remotely close to a finish, I have come to the conclusion that this level is corrupt.

It's strange how they still haven't done anything about this level. I have about the same problems as everyone else (playing on pc and android).As soon as I'm about to get close to clearing the level I start getting lousy drops making it impossible to get any match. And/or only being able to match candies in one of the upper corners.

Bombs won't move down to the center, no matter how many matches I make below the bomb the games refills from other rows (and sometimes from the other side through the middle row). If they end up on one side of the field that side won't drop any candies to match the bomb.

The reshuffling is keeping the bomb in place but moving the same color candies to the other side (at first I thought it was just bad luck but it has happened so many times by now).

Moves only being possible in one of the upper corners. When I get to that point I try to make as bad moves as possible forcing the game to reshuffle but it usually doesn't help.

As if it wasn't hard enough that it takes 5 hits to clear a tile the bombs aren't really doing anything but making you waste moves. They really should at least take the bombs out of the level.

This level is FRUSTRATING--to say the least!!! Here's what I noticed. 1. it makes u waste a bunch of moves at the top where the bombs come out, only to reshuffle the board. 2. Maybe it's just me, but I always seem to bomb out after about 20 moves. I've been left with 30 (out of 50) moves COUNTLESS times!!! And no matter what stripes, colors, blasts, mirror-balls, I get ... I usually only clear about 34-36 pieces. Maybe 5 times I've been close to clearing them out, let alone achieving 40 or more........ I still think it's better than level 134----that level was HORRIBLE, this one is just frustrating!!! One good thing is that the bombs don't blow until about 10 seconds, if that's any consolation, LoL. Good Luck everyone.

There must be some 'spy' on the game that just KNOWS that I've come on here for tips. After probably one month of trying and being absolutely frustrated, then I come here and read ALL your comments, and seriously consider giving up, then voila! After 2 more tries, it's done. Hmmmmmphhh!

I can't believe I am even still considering playing at least for a few more tries.....I am sooooooo frustrated with this level until it is not funny anymore!!!! I have been on this level for about 2 weeks and I can not get more than 48 jellies cleared. I don't mind a challenge but this is ridiculous. Good luck everyone, and don't pull your hair out!!!!

I love this game but this level puts me of. the challenge is not fun after a month. i am bored of this level. when u have a few blocks left and lots of moves the candys at the bottom will not match so u cant complete it. grrrrr

King has only one objective - causing frustration great enough to make people spend money to make it stop. They are not game developers or an entertainment company. They are money hungry ass holes who prey on people who enjoy competitive camping. Bubble Witch ended for me at level 52 (4 months and counting) and Candy Crush will end with 147. The only thing that will stop King is when people stop buying.

Yes, this level sucks..........bombs dropping every other move and then getting stuck in the corners, reshuffling constantly, no decent moves to make and only 50 moves given to break thru the jelly. Then you have to make moves that don't help you at all because that is the only move available.......do that three or four times and them it reshuffles and you find yourself using up ten moves with nothing to show for it.

Challenging is one thing but impossible is another. This level is total BS. Shuffles a million times. Gets the moves up in the corners that you can't get to. This level is about ready to make me stop playing the game.

I so agree, this is total BS.... no sooner get nicely set up then bomb either stuck in the corner or no moves available to clear the bomb....this game used to be fun, losing the addiction I had to this game. they should loosen up a little

The only way I beat this level was waiting until I had a really good hand dealt to me, then getting down to one jelly in the corner and finally using a hammer on it. I played this level over 200 times.

I hate this level with a passion. It is so obvious that they made it so that you have to buy special candies in order to advance in a reasonable time. I'll give it a week and then my Candy Crush Saga days are over. Games are supposed to be fun and take your mind out of chores and responsibilities for a while. This is beyond frustrating and I have a better chance winning millions in a lottery than completing this inhumane and nerve torturing level. And I thought level 65 was bad...

Glad to see so many other people are ready to give up this game because of this level. It's absolutely insane how much time I've wasted on it. I get making it challenging, but virtually impossible is not necessary!

I've tried all these tips. They don't work for me. I've been stuck for 40 days. A friend of mine who beat it amazingly the same day her husband beat it said you have to work the bottom and get as many combos as you can. Well there really isn't anything but bottom to work and combos I've had several during a game and it doesn't clear enough to make a difference. Once or twice I got down to one jelly but I have no boosters left to use. Had i known about this level I would have saved every one of them just for this stupid level. I play on both the iphone and pc and they both suck. Shuffling constantly, bombs getting stuck in the corners. Using all your moves up at the top because the game won't shuffle as long as their are matches to make and you get stuck in the endless matching hell up in the upper corners. This will def be the level that takes me out of candy crush. It's bull that my friends husband started a month or so after me and beat me on this level a month ago. He was only on this level for half a day. I'm convinced they used purchased boosters because there is no friggin way this is happening! Hate Candy Crush now

I combined a speckled chocolate with a striped candy. I had some jellies left but one column I had 2 cells with jellies I wanted to get. I had 2 newly created striped candies (from the combo) that didn't explode and clear the column but kinda slid diagonally into oblivion. Why did this happen?

Oh, I have to chime in on this one because I thought it was me and how I play. The game itself is poorly structured and clearly designed for you spend money but this level is the worst of the worst and like others I will not continue to let this game rule me. I get down to one or two left at the bottom and suddenly there are no more viable moves to kill it off! And then your done if a bomb gets stuck in one the corners...there is no way to get it out! Plus, I feel there are too many wasted moves. If they are going to only allow a certain amount of moves then EVERY move should count in some way. In other match three games eventually the pieces will fall into place to give you the move you need. This game violates that rule so you can't device a strategy! Also why can't accumulate lives and moves with people sending them to you all the time? It is ridiculously contrived. Will try once or twice more but there are other games in the gaming universe that are much better designed!

I finally beat this level after hundreds and hundreds of attempts. One thing I did notice was that the life cycles of the bombs increased from 10 to 15 at some point while playing on a PC, after hundreds of attempts, but I am not sure why. Once the life cycle increased to 15, I was able to win pretty handily. Has anyone else seen this change? Mysterious...

Been on this level for 3 weeks now, this level will be the end of my candy crush experience, bored with it! And I'm guessing this is the level that candy crush provides so that maybe someone like me who refuses to pay for bonus items will maybe change their minds, not happening!!

In reality you CANNOT finish this level without using boosters of some some kind, regardless of what the videos showed. Been on this level for over 1500 games and have been close a few times (one jelly left and 5 or 6 moves left) but a never ever a way of clearing that last jelly before either a bomb goes off that stuck in a corner, or no moves that will allow the last jelly to be cleared. It's a complete joke by the developers and a horrible horrible designed level.

Been stuck now for over three weeks. I am not stupid, I can make the matches and clear the bombs. Have been down to one jelly several times. I don't mind being stuck for a while on a level but this is getting ridiculous - not nice to make people frustrated. Have had two other friends go by me that were behind me. Now another one has just got out of this level too. Beginning to lose hope in this game!

This level was designed by the programmers to sabotage any and all attempts to pass this level fairly. Yes, frustration is their goal, as it's their hope that from frustration the player will BUY boosters. I've never seen so much cheating in a game, ever! You will not win unless you fork over money. I, for one, will NOT pay. Furthermore, I will let everyone I know that is playing CC, to give it up because KING is, ultimately, out to get their money. I quit this b!+€£

I was stuck on this for 10 days...and it was driving me crazy. I finally just beat it, right after viewing these comments for the first time lol. As if the game was saying ok ok, here. I beat it with no boosters or added extra moves. I feel like I just climbed Mt. Everest.

level 147 is pathetic, stuck on it two months, i once paid a couple of dollars for extra moves when I had like 2 jellies left so I got extra 5 moves, made one move and then it said game over, what the hell, rip off!!! This level i tied on Computer and iPhone, either way it is too hard, they one need to add more moves to this and second, remove the stupid pathetic bombs out they just are not needed in this level and there are too many of them anyways.

Is it possible to win this level by normal means.....no buying something. No cheating...getting ready to quit...i could have won a couple of times if I had bought something...but i refuse...been here over a month..

Rest assured that it IS possible to beat this level without cheating or digging out your wallet: I'm one of the people who survived it! You just need loads and loads of patience and a willingness to constantly reload the game (at least on the iPhone where doing so doesn't cost you a life if you do it before making any moves) until you have a really good first move.

I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, so just concentrate on clearing the middle column first as it lets you create combos more easily and try your best to bring the bombs down so that you can clear it and jelly squares at the same time.

But yes, this level is Evil with a capital E. I hated that level with a burning passion, and swore for five minutes straight when the game forced me to suffer through it AGAIN as a mystery quest.

You have 50 moves to remove 52 jellies, however 22 of those require 3 hits to remove and the remainder 2 hits. This is the level where they REALLY want you to buy either additional turns or lives. All the shuffling , moves only in the upper corners , and the stupid bombs make this not so fun. Time to take a break and find a game that is challenging but not impossible and frustrating!
